James Franco and More Celebrity Social Media Fails

James Franco has apologized for ‘using bad judgment’ in courting a 17-year-old girl on Instagram. But he’s not the only famous face to fall victim to a screw-up online.

According to 17-year-old Scottish tourist Lucy Clode, 35-year-old actor James Franco tried to pick her up via Instagram. Clode apparently took an Instagram video with the star, and tagged him, which allegedly set off a night of flirting. Unfortunately for the star, this is all documented in screenshots.

Charlie Sheen attempted to DM Justin Bieber his cell number over Twitter. Unfortunately, the actor’s digits ended up on his timeline. Lesson: Never give beliebers your phone number, or you’ll get thousands of calls and texts.

Russell Brand

In 2011, Russell Brand tweeted a picture of then-wife Katy Perry with no make-up on. It was only a few months after their marriage. Not a great idea.

Russell Crowe

Hey, I don't know what that was. Just having a chat with Dani when the phone went ballistic. Sorry, gone.
